    Glad the scan is done. It's a shame you've got to wait 2 weeks for the results, I know this is normal NHS waiting time but when Mr SA goes to see his consultant every 6 months they do the brain scan 2 hours before the appointment and the results are ready. So it can be done.

    Lovely to hear you met with a MSE friend and had a MSE lunch :)

  • I'm glad the scan is done. I wish they could give you the results straight away, but the best thing is to keep busy do you don't dwell on it. As a couple of times before you've had a result that turned out to be fine, it seems very unlikely that there's anything to be concerned about.

    Well today didn’t turn out as planned. Had a phone call saying family member is in hospital with badly fractured hip. So been visiting. Surgery tomorrow for him. Please can we rewind to the start of 2020 and try again - I’m not impressed with mine so far.

    Sorry to hear about the family member, hope he has a speedy recovery. Think you might have to think along the lines of every day is a fresh start.

    I'm sorry too. But I agree with SA, every day is a new day.

    Been hospital visiting - we didn’t stay long as it’s early days and relative is having a tough time. A couple of days will make a difference I’m sure. Drugs not agreeing with him at all so I know he’ll feel much better when they can reduce them.
    I lost 1 lb today and we went for a short walk at our local NT place which had a building open which is usually closed. I made the effort but my heart wasn’t in it. Just bleugh....

    I actually slept until 6am for the first time in weeks last night - I think I was just exhausted.
    We had to cancel the birthday meal for ds on Wednesday and will celebrate another time:cry:

    Sorry you had to cancel the meal :( Well done on the weight loss though. Hopefully the relative will settle and start recovering xx
